👍👍 Authentic Mexican tacos that are delicious. Small tacos, but you get 5 filled with your choice of protein, and you get to jazz them up with a good amount of choices from their self serve bar. The horchatas they make is to die for. Great prices, small menu and a fun atmosphere. People often mention tacos, good, toppings, time,

    Super friendly staff and great food. I wanted to try a different spot and stumbled here. Servers were awesome, super friendly and patient. I got a steak torta and menudo. Everything was good. Maybe a torta should have been eaten fresh as the bread got a bit soggy but my order was to go. They even included all the sauces and toppings for everything. Great value imo. Can’t wait to come back and try the rest of the menu.

    Summary: A great place to go for tasty tacos! Loved their steak and pulled pork tacos! Street parking. Charge more for credit cards. Dining furniture is bulky and awkward to sit in. My husband and I visited this place for the first time the other night. We ordered their Steak and pulled (fried) pork tacos. The steak came in an order of 4 tacos for $11.50 and the pulled pork came in an order of 5 for $11.50. Coming out of the kitchen are just the flour tortillas with the meats on them. They have a toppings bar for you to add as many toppings and sauces you'd like. We enjoyed our tacos, although my husband felt it was a bit too oily. We also ordered mango milkshakes. They were nothing special. Better to stick with the Jarritos sodas next time. When the check came, they had 2 different totals listed: cash or credit. They pretty much put it on the customer to pay for the merchant credit fee. It wasn't as if we got a discount for using cash, it was how much everything costs anyway. Wait staff was friendly. It did take some time to get our check, probably because it was busy on a Saturday night.

    Service was good, food was good but the tortillas are not authentic, the gorditas were the best, those looks handmade and very authentic flavor. The topping bar is good but at the same time not soo hygienic because everybody can touch everything. Prices were good too so you can try one of each taco if you want. I recommend it YES but not my favorite just because of the tortillas. (Everything else was very good).

    Pancho Villa has a really authentic Tijuana style taco... This is my favorite taco spot in the area. They even have the topping bar like out west with cilantro, onion, sauces, etc... 5 stars for the tacos.... The al pastor spicy pork is juicy and has lots of flavor. This place is small and quiet. The food comes out real quick. The only thing I don’t like is that it is cash only but I just go prepared and they have an atm inside as well. Here are a few pics. I highly recommend if you like tacos.

    If you're looking for authentic Mexican tacos, this is the spot. Small and simple menu, food portions are appropriate and A LOT of flavor. You get plain tacos and you have option of adding what you want on to them. Pricing is great as well. You'll walk out with a full belly and a reason to come back!

    Love this place. Food is very tasty, servers are very nice and not too expensive. Been here over 5 times already and will continue to go.

    Absolutely delicious authentic food and environment. Great taste and affordable. Very family friendly. Tables set close together. Very intimate. Chairs are very comfortable but don't fit under the tables. There is a public toppings bar for taco sauces, cilantro, radishes, onions, etc. If uncomfortable with using the toppings, can ask for toppings from the kitchen. TVs are hanging, and play sports including futbol. Great music. Spanish is primary spoken language. Very good experiences every time we go.

    Small place but its legit for tacos. Self serve bar for onions/extras was cool. Huge range of meats. Bring a friend. Thought it was odd the Jarritos was like $3.50, but i don't usually buy glass soda bottles.
